Summary note
"Explores what state regulations mean to people in sub-Saharan Africa in the light of already existing local norms with which new regulations compete. The contributions to this volume discuss the competing local, state, and international norms in a diachronic perspective and unfold the intricate ambivalences and contradictions that often characterize these regulations."--Page 4 of cover.
